I'm sorry to be getting under the skin, again, of the "Bush walks on water" freepers, but it's important to remember whose cowardice gave us campaign finance "reform". Have a nice day!

Or, vote for some Johnny Nobody, which is, in essence, the same difference as voting for Dean......or, Hillary.

the "Bush walks on water" freepers,

Who are they?

If there are freepers who have said that Bush is perfect, I haven't seen them.

For the record I freely concede that Bush is not perfect, has made mistakes, is human, etc. In particular I disagreed with his signing that CFR bill, as I disagreed with a few other things he's done, as I disagreed with some things every single President and in fact every single politician has done.

(What do people think they accomplish by making this point?)

Or vote for someone else.

What are you more afraid of? Voting your conscious, "wasting" your vote, or going with the old "lesser of two evils" idea?

The rep party shifted to the center, and the Dems shifted to 'progressivism'.

In other words, there are two new parties: The Socialist Democrats and the Liberal Republicans.

The con game is over now. This is the reality.

The only solution is to not vote for the bastards that sold us out. A round of Hil or Dean and more socialists in Congress are the only answer for reversing this new reality within the next 10 years. I am sick of fighting. If we want socialism, let's try it in earnest for a few years, and let the voters decide in 2008 if they want to keep it or elect conservatives.

Yeah Bush screwed up

Sorry, but I really do view Bush as a political coward. It's easy to stand up to a bad guy from central casting like Saddam. Harder to stand up to the liberal media and the PC crowd on campaign finance, medicare extension, big spending, etc. I don't see Bush standing up to liberals at home - - and conservatives give him a pass as long as he's making war abroad. Kinda like Nixon - conservatives wouldn't criticize his left-wing policies because he was fighting a war.

...supporters contend that the law will help curb big donors from effectively buying access to the halls of power where they can sway lawmakers.

More BS shoveled by the masters of BS. These morons are now going to get what they deserve; a whole series of unintended consequences, but the flow of money to the criminal element known as Congress will not be abated by this travesty of justice. This law essentially says that its not the members of Congress who are corrupt, but the guys who peddle the money to them.

"The addict is not responsible for his addiction, its all those dope peddlers who are at fault."

No, if you like free speech and dislike federal spending, vote Libertarian.

You may want to suffer under socialism for a few years, but I don't. I'm not cutting off the entire foot, just because I have a stubbed toe.

Bush, like almost everyone else, was sure the Supremes would throw most of this out.
He thought it was a harmless 'feel good' bill, like pardoning the Whitehouse Turkey at Thanksgiving.
He was wrong.
I was wrong.
The ACLU was wrong.
The Media was wrong.

I guess that means W is neither the Second Coming nor the Antichrist, but only a man.

Everyone will have found ways to circumvent this crap by spring.
It is an affront to our rights, but meaningless in effect.

I will not be voting the Presidential line this coming election.

Bush might as well sign the Assault Weapons ban. He cannot lose my vote twice.

This decision is permanent and irrevokable.
